Tree Nut Free Mediterranean Tomato, Peach & Cucumber Salad

This salad is a full-on celebration of summer produce — juicy cherry tomatoes, sweet peach wedges, and crisp cucumber all tossed together in a way that feels both effortless and impressive. The dressing is where things get interesting: a bright lemon and olive oil base gets a warm, earthy lift from ground cumin and turmeric, making it taste far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. Letting the red onion sit in the dressing for a few minutes before everything else goes in is a small but genius move — it softens the sharpness and infuses the whole bowl with flavor. Torn fresh mint and basil folded in at the end keep the herbs vibrant and fragrant rather than wilted. The optional dry-roasted pistachios on top add a satisfying crunch and a little richness, and since they're listed as optional, the salad is just as gorgeous without them if you need to skip them entirely. This is the kind of dish that disappears fast at a cookout or dinner party, and it comes together without any cooking at all.
